Tamar Braxton and WE tv Cut Ties After She Accuses Network of Making Her ‘Suicidal’

*Tamar Braxton is finally a free woman after WE tv agreed to part ways with the singer.

The move comes amid her criticism over the network’s “excessive and unfair” work demands.

Braxton allegedly tried to end her life over the slave treatment she suffered from executives. 

In a new statement from WE tv, the network says it “will work with her representatives to honor her request to end all future work for the network.” The decision comes a day after the singer details her frustrations with the network in a lengthy post on social media. 

Braxton currently has two series at WE tv: “Braxton Family Values” and the upcoming “Get Ya Life!,” which is set to air later that fall, TMZ reports.

First and foremost, Thank you. Thank you to each and every individual who has prayed for me, thought of me, sent me their love and has showered me with their support. In this present moment, it is my only responsibility to be real with myself and to be real with the ones who truly love me and care for my healing. I have without fail, shared with you my brightest days, and I know that sharing with you what has been my darkest will be the light for any man or woman who is feeling the same defeat I felt just only a week ago. Every one of us has a desire, whether small or big, to make it out of where we come from to an ideal future place that includes, freedom to be who we choose, security for our children and families, and fortune to share with the ones we love. We believe these things can co-exist with just being happy. I believed that, that as a black woman, as an artist, an influence, a personality I could shape my world, and with whom I believed to be my partners, they could help me share my world. Over the past 11 years there were promises made to protect and portray my story, with the authenticity and honesty I gave. I was betrayed, taken advantage of, overworked, and underpaid. I wrote a letter over 2 months ago asking to be freed from what I believed was excessive and unfair. I explained in personal detail the demise I was experiencing. My cry for help went totally ignored. However the demands persisted. It was my spirit, and my soul that was tainted the most. There are a few things I count on most to be, a good mother, a good daughter, a good partner, a good sister, and a good person. Who I was, begun to mean little to nothing, because it would only be how I was portrayed on television that would matter. It was witnessing the slow death of the woman I became, that discouraged my will to fight. I felt like I was no longer living, I was existing for the purpose of a corporations gain and ratings, and that killed me. Mental illness is real. We have to normalize acknowledging it and stop associating it with shame and humiliation. The pain that I have experienced over the past 11 years has slowly ate away at my spirit and my mental.

In a IG statement on Thursday, Braxton wrote, “Over the past 11 years there were promises made to protect and portray my story, with the authenticity and honesty I gave.
